The next Xbox might require an always on, Online Connection.

Simple the guy is a douche the way he was acting on twitter. If a console has always online I wouldn't buy. The only reason I play consoles are exclusives anyways now.

I hate this always online stuff, i have a good speed connection but its unreliable. I dc every hour or so.

Every game pc or console should always be online. That's the only way to stop piracy.

Epic fail

yeah always on drm worked so flawlessly in the past >_>

My biggest concern is what will happen with XBLA Library. ALot of money invested in XBLA, and don't see any reason (spoiled by steam?) we wont be able to move our libraries over to new console. If this is a no no, that will make the purchase decision easy for me.

And yet people will still find a way to pirate games, this will solve nothing.

Great way to help Sony and PS4. Go on Microsoft!

Also, he doesnt get the drama about always on? Wait for sales numbers and then compare to anything without that.... and prepare a handkerchief. Your bank account begs to differ too! :D

Microsoft Employee talking about always online rumor. Seems very douchey.

more of the twitter convo

Well f*ck you, Microsoft. I'll never buy anything that forces a permanent online connection.

For me it's a deal breaker. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

It was said that it would always require online and would not allow used games. However, since Playstation 4 will not do either of the two, it would be suicide for Microsoft to do this to themselves. I doubt this will be the case on release for their loyal fans will not stay loyal for long when they realize the Playstation didn't do any DRM bullshit.

might? no it will

haha

If Microsoft does this it only helps Nintendo and Sony.

PS4 forever. Provides a much better experience than xbox in my opinion. Especially if you have PS+ you would know you get a lot of great games for the price xbox consumers have to pay for an internet experience

I probably wouldn't have got one, at last for a few years... but if this turns out to be true, i hope it fails big time.

My hope: Microsoft decides to do this, but no one else does, resulting in the Xbox not being part of the market and leaving room for another company to replace it. That would be good news, probably.

lololololololololol

That... is horrible! If that's true, They will lose a LOT of money, mark my words.

I heard it will also spawn 1 former N'Sync member in your living room every 2 hours.

I can't stress how much of a dumb idea this is for MS. I thought the Wii U was bad but if they add always online it would take the cake.

If true you are an idiot if you buy such console, there is no discussion there, if you support bad companies practice you are a count.

This seems very familiar, just with newer articles ... lol.
